The initiative aims to simplify first and last-mile connectivity, making daily commutes more seamless and efficient. According to MMRC, the service is designed to ensure that metro users can easily access stations and continue their journeys with minimal inconvenience, thereby improving the overall urban mobility experience for thousands of Mumbaikars who rely on public transport.
During the launch event, MMRC’s Director of Planning and Real Estate Development, R. Ramana, said that Metro Line 3 marks a transformative chapter in Mumbai’s public transportation network. He emphasized that providing reliable first and last-mile connectivity is vital for ensuring a smooth commuter experience.
